Part 2: The First Song
Heeray Lena waited backstage. The long, dark gray dress she wore dragged the floor. She was on after this number. She could see her mother sitting in the audience. Her father was next to her, and her brother sat next to him. Sighing, she dusted herself off as her name was called. A piano was wheeled out on the stage.
" And now, Heeray Lena Yuy will now sing a song she wrote called Impossible." The announcer said. Heeray Lena promptly walked out on the stage. Everyone clapped like crazy. Her eyes shone. She took a seat at the piano and stretched out her fingers.
As the music started, she hummed the tune a little bit. Then she paused. Taking in a deep breath, she sang.
*It's impossible
It's impossible to love you
If you don't let me know what you're feeling
It's impossible for me to give you what you need
If you're always hidin' from me I don't know what hurt you
I just, I wanna make it right
Cos boy I'm sick and tired of trying to read your mind*
Heeray Lena closed her eyes and belted the song out with all her heart.
*It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible for me to love you
It's the way it is
It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible
If you makin' it this way
Impossible to make it easy
If you always tryin' to make it so damn hard
How can I, how can I give you all my love, baby
If you're always, always puttin' up your guard
This is not a circus
Don't you play me for a clown
How long can emotions keep on goin' up and down*
Heeray looked out over at the crowd. They were hanging on her every word. It was as if she stopped, they would ransack her for more. Smirking like her namesake, she continued playing.
*It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible for me to love you
It's the way it is
It's impossible (impossible)
Oh baby it's impossible
If you keep treating me this way
Over, over (over and over)
Impossible baby (impossible, impossible)
If you makin' it this way, this way
Oh baby, it's impossible
If you makin' it this way*
Heeray smiled as she finished her song. She stood as the audience clapped for her performance. Taking a bow, her eyes met her mother's. Relena smiled and wondered why her daughter hadn't started singing earlier. She was proud of her.
That night, Relena walked in the house with her family. Heeray carried the first place trophy. Sitting it down, she turned to face her mother.
" I'm proud of you, Heeray Lena." Relena said. Heeray cringed at the sound of her full first name. When she became a star, that would be the first to go.
" Thanks, ma. I appreciate it. Now..." Heeray tried to turn.
" I want to sign you, Heeray. I believe you have the capability. I have seen you in action. You have a certain star quality. I want you to come work for me." Relena said. Heeray turned toward her mother, beaming with happiness.
" Seriously? I love you MOM!!" Heeray knocked her mother down. Jay rolled his eyes at the pathetic display of emotion. He sister was never that emotional.
" Under one condition, though." Relena said. Heeray was so happy, that she'd forgotten all about the fine print. Sitting up, she looked at her mother.
" Your brother must accompany you wherever your busy schedule takes you. Know that your father and I will not be able to. So Jay will accompany you." Heeray glared at her brother, who whimpered.
" But mom..."
" Do not ' But mom' me, Heeray Lena. Your brother will be your shadow. I mean it Jay. Heeray is a precious gem and is new to the business. Watch her like your father watches me. G'night." Relena walked up the stairs.
Jay glared at his sister. Although he was only twenty, he knew what went on in the world better than even his own mother.
" Your ass is mine, Peanut." Jay said.
" Want some? Get some, Strawberry." Heeray said, getting in a fighting stance. The two wrestled for thirty minutes until both were two sore to move.
AN: Awwwww! Ain't that cute? Well, this is the deal. Let's see what happens to our young starlet.
